Full Job Description
WHO WE ARE Imprint is building a platform that helps the world’s best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com http://Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to predict what each customer will do next and act on it, so brands can offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank. Co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in U.S. annual spend, and most still run on legacy bank rails. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we’re building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you. ABOUT THIS ROLE Almost nobody outside our walls knows what Imprint really is. People have a fuzzy sense that we do co-branded cards and little else. Meanwhile we're building something far bigger, with real growth, an enviable partner roster, and one of the best investor bases in fintech. Closing the gap between what we are and what the world thinks we are is why this role exists. We're looking for a communications operator wired like a founder. Someone who wakes up thinking about how to make Imprint the name people in fintech, retail, and tech can't stop saying. This is not a corporate comms job. No press-release treadmill, no clip-count scorecards. You'll be handed a point of view about where this industry is going and asked to make the market believe it, working directly with the CEO and leadership team to turn strategy into public pres
